13 Worst Foundations

No. 2: Physicians Formula CoverToxTen50 Wrinkle Therapy Foundation, $12.95 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 5.5*Why: Readers hate the stiff brush attached to the foundation tube, which makes it almost impossible to apply the foundation directly on the face. "This is truly the worst Physicians Formula product I've ever tried," says one reader, and "in terms of lines, it seems to accentuate them and bring forth lines I didn't even know I had." This product is not recommended for sensitive skin because it "leaves a mask-like finish" and many readers broke out after using it.

While it is great to know which products are worse, there will always be different foundation preferences for each individual. Different shades, textures, applications, etc. One thing that can be agreed upon, is poor packaging, which can make or break even the "best" foundations sometimes.
